If you can spill it, spread it, spray it, pump it, or pour it, you gotta check it.
“We know that when people are traveling, especially for Thanksgiving, they oftentimes want to contribute something to the holiday table,” says Lisa Farbstein, a spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration. “We encourage people to really think about how they’re planning to transport these items.”
Notably, items that are liquid but have frozen completely solid, like a pint container full of turkey stock, are considered to be solids by the TSA, and can be packed in carry-on bags. So are baked goods, like pies and cakes, and even slightly sloshy common Thanksgiving sides like mac and cheese or green bean casserole. Fresh vegetables are also okay to bring through security in carry-ons, as are chocolates and spices.
Even if you do perfectly parse out TSA’s guidelines and pack your Thanksgiving bounty appropriately, it’s possible that certain items could still trigger an alarm when being examined by an officer. As such, you should plan to arrive at the airport early if you’re traveling with food, and don’t be surprised if your food storage containers of sweet potato casserole are swabbed down to ensure that they don’t contain any traces of explosives.
To minimize time spent in the security screening line, Farbstein suggests removing food items from your luggage and placing them directly into the bin that slides through the X-ray machine. In addition to packing correctly, these tips can help reduce the likelihood that a TSA officer will ask you open up your bag for a lengthy search.
